Chapter 1654: Chapter 1651: Heavenly Blade Ancestor!
Since Li Chen slew Yun Hee and severely injured God Monarch Yunlong, the Daxi Dynasty has completely collapsed.
Xie Wanwan decisively seized the opportunity, not only reclaiming all lost territories but also breaking through the Royal City of the Daxi Dynasty.
The main general of the Daxi Dynasty, Daa Wendong, was beheaded, and King Sha Moxi committed suicide. Even the remaining villain Hei Guang of the Cloud Dragon Palace was split into two by Xie Wanwan’s sword.
At this point, the Great Hann Dynasty had expanded its territory to thirty million, with a population of billions, becoming a superpower.
However, their rapid rise also attracted the attention of many major powers.
Among them, the Heavenly Blade Sect was undoubtedly the most interested in this newly risen Great Hann Dynasty.
Moreover, the Daxi Dynasty had a prince named Sha Moke, who was a disciple of the Heavenly Blade Sect Master, Heavenly Blade Ancestor.
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor ordered his Chief Heavenly Pride, Dao Wuying, along with two Elders, Bai Lei and Tian Feng, to bring Sha Moke and come to the Royal City of the Great Hann Dynasty under the pretext of demanding justice.
Dao Wuying entered the Mahayana Realm ten years ago. The two Elders, Bai Lei and Tian Feng, had already entered the Mahayana Realm hundreds of years ago.
Now, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor dispatched three experts of the Mahayana Realm to the Great Hann Dynasty to demand accountability.
The current Great Hann Dynasty, not to mention the Mahayana Realm, didn’t even have a single Quasi Mahayana expert.
The strongest individual belonged to Xie Wanwan, who was at the Half-step Mahayana Realm.
Thus, relying solely on Xie Wanwan, it was naturally impossible to resist three experts of the Mahayana Realm.
Facing their demand for accountability, Xie Wanwan had no choice but to go along with them.
Upon seeing Xie Wanwan for the first time, Dao Wuying was captivated by her pure, unique aura.
Therefore, he didn’t make things difficult for her but directly brought her back to the Heavenly Blade Sect.
Sha Moke, seeking vengeance, led disciples in a massacre inside the Royal City for three days and nights. Corpses became strewn across the landscape, rivers ran with blood, and the entire sky was stained a glaring red.
Li Chen just returned to witness the scene, a purgatory-like spectacle.
Wang Jin, who had hidden in a secret underground chamber and narrowly escaped, suppressed her tears when she saw Li Chen return and recounted the entire incident step by step.
Upon listening to Wang Jin’s account, Li Chen’s pupils immediately ignited with a raging fire.
"Heavenly Blade Sect, if I don’t annihilate every one of you, I, Li Chen, swear I am no human!"
Having spoken, he prepared to go to the Heavenly Blade Sect to rescue his people.
Wang Jin, worried about Li Chen suffering, urgently reminded: "Under the Heavenly Blade Sect, there are several experts just in the Mahayana Realm. The Sect Master, Heavenly Blade Ancestor, is a millennia-old monster. Going recklessly might..."
She didn’t continue her words but gazed at Li Chen with eyes full of concern.
Li Chen understood what Wang Jin wanted to say, so he offered her a confident smile and said: "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!"
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Jin and headed directly towards the stronghold of the Heavenly Blade Sect.
Dao Wuying and others, along with Xie Wanwan, Li Yun, and Little Shitou, had already returned to the Heavenly Blade Sect three days prior.
Upon hearing about Li Chen’s various encounters, the Heavenly Blade Ancestor quickly concluded that this young man, Li Chen, must have experienced a great opportunity.
At present, his cultivation had been stuck at the Great Mahayana Middle Stage Peak Realm for a full three hundred years.
He was just lacking a chance to break through this bottleneck and advance to the Late Stage of Mahayana.
From his perspective, as long as he could obtain Li Chen’s chance, he could achieve the coveted Late Mahayana Stage.
To this end, he used various threats and temptations on Xie Wanwan.
But no matter how enticing the conditions he offered, Xie Wanwan remained unmoved.
This greatly enraged the Heavenly Blade Ancestor.
Seeing their ancestor enraged, the disciples suggested directly killing Xie Wanwan.
However, Dao Wuying dissuaded them.
Dao Wuying’s reason for dissuasion was that Xie Wanwan was Li Chen’s Taoist couple, and as long as she was there, she could force Li Chen to hesitate.
The Heavenly Blade Ancestor agreed with his disciple’s reasoning and temporarily abandoned the idea of killing Xie Wanwan.
Xie Wanwan was confined in the forbidden area of the Heavenly Blade Sect’s back mountain.
Dao Wuying walked over, studied Xie Wanwan for a long time, and then asked: "Do you really believe he will come to save you?"
Xie Wanwan smiled faintly at Dao Wuying and replied affirmatively.
"Of course, he is my husband; naturally, he will come to save me!"
Upon hearing the word "husband," Dao Wuying felt as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart, causing pain that rendered him speechless.
However, he quickly restored his unparalleled demeanor as Chief Heavenly Pride.
"Alright, I too want to see what kind of monstrous talent this Li Chen possesses to make you so devoted to him?"
Xie Wanwan looked at Dao Wuying and casually asked: "Do you want to duel him?"
Dao Wuying sensed that his thoughts were seen through by Xie Wanwan.
Thus, he no longer concealed them.
However, he didn’t directly answer Xie Wanwan’s question but instead casually counter-questioned.
"Why, do you think I’m not a match for him?"
Xie Wanwan nodded and replied: "Yes, you are not his match!"
After hearing Xie Wanwan’s words, even the always elegant Dao Wuying couldn’t help but change his expression.
With a somber face, he asked coldly: "Do you truly despise me?"
Xie Wanwan smiled calmly and replied: "In others’ eyes, you may be a highly regarded Heavenly Pride, yet in his eyes, you are just an... ant!"
Upon hearing the word "ant," Dao Wuying immediately burst into anger, his mouth twitching fiercely, and his expression was terrifyingly grim.
Dao Wuying was revered as a Heavenly Pride among stars, the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Blade Sect.
He always viewed others as ants and had never suffered such humiliation!
In his madness, he glared with blood-red eyes and roared fiercely: "Humph, I refuse to believe this nonsense. Once I defeat him, you’ll know who the real ant is!"
Hearing Dao Wuying’s roar, Xie Wanwan said nothing further but merely smiled at him.
This was a mocking smile!
Dao Wuying was enraged beyond control, feeling a torrential fire in his heart ready to erupt, threatening to consume him utterly.
Just then, a thunderous voice exploded like rolling thunder.
"Li Chen is here to pay a visit!"
Though only six words, they struck like a thunderbolt, blasting over the skies of the Heavenly Blade Sect, causing everyone, from elders to disciples, to shudder in their hearts.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Wanwan’s usually serene eyes rippled with delightful surprise.
This undoubtedly stung Dao Wuying’s heart even further!
His dark pupils were filled with icy killing intent, and with a vicious expression, he roared: "Humph, I will now show you who the real ant is!"
